Like him or not, he is one savy business man. He has created quite an empire in the comic biz. He must sell his swill to somebody...

Don’t comic stores remove high dollar books from display when they close? It would seem to be the wise approach.

Redbeard needs to chime in here. He was around when a lot of these “file copy” finds were discovered and has a lot of info I would suspect.

Nice haul! But since you are new here I thought I’d let you know these should be in the GA selling forum not here. You should post scans and references since you are new here. And please read the rules before you do. Good luck with your sale!

Famous Funnies #135 goes to Jim’s ever growing pile!
